Spit riser mount

Abstract

A spit riser mount for mounting a rotating spit to a tabletop grill. The spit riser mount includes an annular spit mount that has a plurality of pieces. Each of the pieces has opposite first and second ends. The first end of a piece removably engages the second end of an adjacent piece. A first of the pieces has a slot downwardly extending from an upper edge of the piece. The slot is adapted for receiving a spit therein. A second of the pieces has a first aperture positioned towards its upper edge. The first aperture is adapted for receiving a spit therethrough.

I claim:

       2. The attachment of claim 1, wherein each of said pieces has a bend portion positioned between said first and second ends such that said first and second ends of a particular piece are positioned at about a 90 degree angle from each other. 
     
     
       3. The attachment of claim 2, wherein each of said bend portions is curved. 
     
     
       4. The attachment of claim 1, wherein said second of said pieces has a holed mounting wall having a hole substantially aligned with said first aperture. 
     
     
       5. The attachment of claim 1, further comprising a spit being inserted through said first aperture of said second of said pieces and resting in said slot of said first of said pieces. 
     
     
       6. A grill attachment for supporting a spit, the attachment comprising: an annular spit mount having a plurality of pieces, each of said pieces having opposite first and second ends, said first end of a piece removably engaging said second end of an adjacent piece;   a first of said pieces having a slot downwardly extending from an upper edge of said piece said slot being adapted for receiving a spit therein;   a second of said pieces having a first aperture positioned towards an upper edge thereof, said first aperture being adapted for receiving a spit therethrough;   wherein said second of said pieces has a holed mounting wall having a hole substantially aligned with said first aperture; and   a motor for rotating a spit, said motor being mounted to said mounting wall of said second of said short pieces.   
     
     
       7. The attachment of claim 6, wherein said motor has two rotational speeds, one of said speeds being about 11/2 times as fast as the other of said rotational speeds. 
     
     
       8. The attachment of claim 6, wherein each of said pieces has a bend portion positioned between said first and second ends such that said first and second ends of a particular piece are positioned at about a 90 degree angle from each other. 
     
     
       9. The attachment of claim 8, wherein each of said bend portions is curved. 
     
     
       10. A grill with attachment for supporting a spit, the grill comprising: a grill comprising a lower housing and a cooking grate being disposed on said lower housing;   an annular spit mount having a pair of long pieces and a pair of short pieces positioned between said long pieces;   each of said pieces having opposite first and second ends and a bend portion positioned between said first and second ends such that said first and second ends of a particular piece are positioned at about a 90 degree angle from each other, said first end of a piece removably engaging said second end of an adjacent piece;   each of said bend portions being curved;   each of said pieces having a first angled portion positioned towards said first end thereof and angling inward of said piece, said first angled portions each having a slot extending upwardly therealong;   each of said pieces having a second angled portion positioned towards said second end thereof and angling inward of said piece, said second angled portions each having a slot extending downwardly therealong and adapted for receiving said first angled portion therein;   a first of said short pieces having a slot downwardly extending from an upper edge of said short piece, said slot being adapted for receiving a spit therein;   a second of said short pieces having a first aperture positioned towards an upper edge thereof and a holed mounting wall having a hole substantially aligned with said first aperture;   a spit being inserted through said first aperture and said hole of said second of said short pieces and resting in said slot of said first of said short pieces;   a pair of forks coupled to said spit for coupling food to said spit, said forks being selectively positionable along said spit;   a motor for rotating said spit, said motor being mounted to said mounting wall of said second of said short pieces and being in communication with said spit;   said motor having two rotational speeds, one of said speeds being about 11/2 times as fast as the other of said rotational speeds;   a lid resting on said spit mount, said lid having long sides and short sides; and   said lid having a pair of side vent slots being positioned on said long sides of said lid towards a lower periphery of said lid, said lid having two pairs of end vent slots, a pair of end slots being positioned on each short side of said lid towards said lower periphery of said lid in a spaced apart configuration.   
     
     
       11. A grill attachment for supporting a spit, the attachment comprising: an annular spit mount having a plurality of pieces, each of said pieces having opposite first and second ends, said first end of a piece removably engaging said second end of an adjacent piece;   a first of said pieces having a slot downwardly extending from an upper edge of said piece, said slot being adapted for receiving a spit therein;   a second of said pieces having a first aperture positioned towards an upper edge thereof, said first aperture being adapted for receiving a spit therethrough;   a spit being inserted through said first aperture of said second of said pieces and resting in said slot of said first of said pieces; and   a pair of forks coupled to said spit for coupling food to said spit; and   wherein each of said pieces has a bend portion positioned between said first and second ends such that said first and second ends of a particular piece are positioned at about a 90 degree angle from each other.   
     
     
       12. The attachment of claim 11, wherein said forks are selectively positionable along said spit. 
     
     
       13. The attachment of claim 11, wherein each of said bend portions is curved.
